Location: Stamford, CT
Moved into an apartment two months ago with my partner and cat. It’s our first apartment. Super let us know that they have a preventative pest control service come in once a month, but we’ve declined it because we have had no issues.
Today a memo was slid under our door saying that starting next week (I think – it’s not clear) they will be spraying for roaches twice a month at 10am and it’s mandatory for all apartments to comply. We need to vacate the apartment and stay out for 2-4 hours after they spray.
This is an issue as I work from home on a desktop and I have a cat (who doesn’t do well in the car). We rent a condo, so there are HOA rules. One does say they spray mandatorily once a month and that if you don’t comply there is a fee for each occurrence, but clearly that hasn’t been in effect. The hoa is dated 2008 so idek if it’s correct tbh.
Is this legal? Do we have a right to say no?
